Extremely Rare Gold Ended Lachenal Tenor-Treble Edeophone

Concertina Description

It is a tenor-treble Edeophone with what is described in the bill of sale as "gilt ends". It is number 60032-which would make it around the late 1920's.

It comes in its original case which has a label for " Principal A.M. Ross, Maker and Teacher, English concertina Aeola and Edeophone , 499 Maryhill Road, Queen's Cross , Glasgow NW"

I have had four or five instruments marked this way and they have all been fancy Edeophones-including the only two pearloid ones I have ever seen. He obviously dealt in expensive concertinas in the later period.

The instrument itself has been restored with new pads, valves, straps and tuned to concert pitch,
